Please note: This professional electronic music keyboard is not the same as the Genesys Pro. The Genesys Pro, which has mounted speakers, is not a professional keyboard designed for the music of the Middle East and Mediterranean.

Genesys Pro S MidEast is a multimedia professional workstation specifically developed for the music of the Middle East and Mediterranean. With thousands of complex rich sounds, hundreds of features, and a full recording studio, it is the only professional arranger workstation/synthesizer designed specifically for Arabic and Middle Eastern music.

The new Genesys Pro S MidEast professional keyboard includes 128 new styles and over 200 high quality Middle Eastern sounds and percussions originating from the cultures of the Middle East and Mediterranean (Arabic, Greek, Turkish, etc.) and was designed in collaboration with the top musicians from these regions. This professional electronic music keyboard includes important features such as a joystick for pitch and modulation, and programmable Arabic scales which can be assigned to the programmable pads.

Recordable CD
The Genesys Pro S MidEast includes an onboard CD Player and CD Recorder, making it easy to create, record, and assemble multiple audio files for full musical CD recordings (CD tracks, WAV or MP3 files) as well as MIDI files. You can even copy data directly from any CD to the instrument's internal hard disk. To record your own CD (music/vocal tracks), simply insert a blank CD/R or CD/RW and press the MAKE CD button. You can save a vast quantity of data onto a blank CD, eliminating the laborious procedure of backing up to floppy disks. As a CD reader, the internal drive is compatible with all the most popular formats - Akai®, Kurzweil®, wav, smp, and snd - for unlimited flexibility.

Over 250 Sound Presets for maximum authenticity256 Factory Sound Presets arranged into 16 different Sound Families make the Genesys Pro S MidEast a world-class arranger workstation. Within Sound Families you will find every conceivable type of sound including our unique Real Sounds. Real Sounds were created with total realism in mind, by creating and sampling the specific characteristic effects of a variety of instruments. This includes natural vibrato and mechanical sounds plus typical dynamic and ambient effects for each instrument. A Sound Preset is not just a simple sound but a sophisticated "sound container" which can hold up to 8 different single sounds, choosing from over 1300 factory sounds and 800 user sounds (total of over 2100 sounds) for exceptional richness and warmth of sound reproduction.

Each of the 2100 sounds can be edited in one of two ways: Quick Edit and Pro Edit. Quick Edit gives you a simple and effective way to change the characteristics of the sound offering the principal editing parameters in a single screen. Pro Edit, with its huge variety of control and modification parameters, transforms the Genesys Pro S MidEast into a powerful professional synthesizer.

Digital Effects
In addition to the internal effects of the Vocal Genius, dedicated exclusively to processing signals from the audio inputs, the Genesys Pro S MidEast is equipped with four main digital effect processors: Two for reverb effects and two for modulation effects, all of which can be assigned to the internal sounds or to sequencer tracks. The reverb presets include Hall, Concert, Chamber, Room, Vocal, Plate, Church, Mountains, Falling, and Early. The modulation effects include Delay, Dubbing, Ping-Pong, Chorus, Ensemble, Phaser, Flanger, Pan Mix, Distortion, Pitch Shifter, Rotary, and Equalizer.

Styles from all around the world for every musical genre
The Genesys Pro S MidEast 256 Factory Styles are organized into various Style Families with accompaniment styles from every corner of the world for authentic reproduction of almost any musical genre. Each single style is comprised of up to eight parts and is equipped with 4 Intros, 4 Endings and 4 Variations with Fill In, Fill To, Fade In/Out, Synchro and Restart functions.

The functions in the Style Tools section along with the innovative new Keyboard Mode selectors provide all the necessary options for quickly and easily adapting the instrument to suit your own preferred style of playing. Each style offers four Style Presets which provide appropriate sound settings for the selected style with the added possibility to store up to four of your own additional settings. The Keyboard Mode settings (Full, Bass Split, Accompaniment Split, Piano Style, Manual Bass and Pro Split) guarantee you total freedom to utilize these accompaniments in the best possible musical way. You can even add to these factory styles with up to 64 user styles, either programmed by yourself or factory created and loadable from floppy disk or CD. In addition, the Music Library offers 96 instantly available set-ups for playing a variety of popular songs.

Recording Studio
There is no longer a need for the laborious process of trying to integrate a PC, mixer, keyboard, and countless other devices. The Genesys Pro S MidEast is a full, powerful recording studio with its own internal recording features. In addition to the 250,000 event midi sequencer for recording internal sounds, the Genesys Pro S MidEast allows you to record any audio signal from the inputs directly to the internal hard disk recorder. Just press the RECORD button and choose either MIDI or audio recording, or record everything at once.

The MIDI sequencer offers sophisticated track-by-track editing while audio recording mode allows you to simultaneously record the signal from the audio inputs along with an MP3 and even the styles and sounds that you play along with on the keyboard.

Vocal Genius
Vocal Genius is the new exclusive vocal processor for the Genesys Pro S MidEast, with high quality A/D conversion and three separate effects dedicated to vocal performance (reverb, delay, and compressor). The two sliders, MIC and GENIUS, allow you to independently control the relative levels of the audio signal from a microphone or any other instrument connected to the audio inputs and the level of the four harmonized melody lines which are generated by the Vocal Genius. Connections and Sound System
Equipped with every type of input and output necessary including 2 MIDI In, 2 MIDI Out, 2 MIDI Thru and four pedal inputs, the Genesys Pro S MidEast is able to provide real-time control over a remarkable quantity of functions. The optional SCSI interface even allows you to archive and manage a huge quantity of data on external devices. The internal sound system is both powerful and highly effective. Video, score and karaoke displayThe elevated spacious graphic display offers a clear and complete view of all current operations at any given time and, thanks to the intelligent system of icons and display function keys, allows for simple navigation of the various menu pages.

Connecting the professional Genesys Pro S MidEast to a television or video projector (using composite video, S-VHS or SCART) makes it possible to display the musical score, chords, or karaoke-style lyrics to the song currently being played.

Sliders and volume controls
The 10 sliders at the left side of the Genesys Pro S MidEast allow direct independent control of the volume for every section: parts of a style of the individual tracks of a song, level of an audio CD, MP3, or WAV file.

The master slider Style/Seq controls the general level of MIDI file playback and the style section, effectively allowing you to quickly and easily balance this with the other sounds of the keyboard.

video interface, upgradeable operating system (fd/cd), 2 CDs included (1 operating system CD, 1 music CD with up to 1.000 songs + lyrics), 1 microphone included

Amazing sounds! no other intelligent arranger compared to this machine regarding eastern instruments and eastern beats. The owner's maunal could have been a lot better.Thanks to the professional and prompt Maqam sales service.

by K salamehon 9/17/2009

I am a professional musician and the keyboard is beyond my expectations. i bought it for my studio with the full package. very good deal and for arabic music there is no keyboard like it. the recording studio is almost the same level as a professional studio. good deal. i didn't know they made arabic keyboards like this.
